by law or government authority (in which case it will apply to orders
previously placed by you). If any of these conditions is deemed
invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that condition will be
deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of
any remaining condition.

will not be held responsible for any delay or failure to comply with
our obligations under these conditions if the delay or failure arises
from any cause, which is beyond our reasonable control. This condition
